Lakeside 2018


Recommended Posts

Ritchie Hawkins was asked via Twitter to confirm the conversion multiplier....

 

1.3

 

So Zach W should be 4.07 and Morley 4.17 (assuming 2.5% Brit reductions)

The multiplier should only come into effect if the rider(s) have no relevant average, I would have thought. (Shanes, for example)

Morley and Waj both have established second division averages, so assume they would return to the league on them.

They both have established/relevant averages from 2017 which should be used.

 

2016 averages are completely irrelevant.

What multiply are people using?? It's 1.3

That's what I used

The only thing I assume is that they think Zach Wajtknecht comes in on a 2.00, or the 2.53 he got for Somerset... And they or us have messed up the totals

Cook was on a local radio station yesterday and said he was really happy to get Zach on such a low average among other things, no mention of what his average was but from that comment I would guess its lower than what has been stated on here.

It should be PL to CL converted and possibly minus the 2.5%, not 100% sure of that rule personally... That's how they worked out Shane's average, or is it make the rules up as you go?

I make the lakeside team total 43.39 and that's including reductions for the 2 reserves

 

Would be nice to know what Cook has done to make it fit???

I would imagine the answer is along the lines of making best use of a ruling/regulation already in existence and therefore available to all.

The general consensus on here is that the team is considerably over the 42.50 limit. It is, therefore pointless to go on about 2.5% reductions because, in real terms they amount to very little (0.1 on a average of 4.00 - to achieve even a 0.50 reduction, you would need to apply it to combined averages totalling 20). Something else is definitely in play here.

If Lakeside promotion were 100% certain on the averages, common sense would say, lets release a press statement confirming the averages and where its come from.

 

Radio silence however just causes doubt and confusion, and also scepticism.

Why would they do that? Maybe Cook isnt aware of the few people on this forum who think the team is over. If it is over Iam sure the powers that be would have told them by now the team doesnt fit. Edited by liam

If they've got nothing to hide, shut the fans up questioning it, and prove it....

 

The powers that be that havent a clue what's going on it seems? Who change the rules depending who's asking.

As Claret said why should they? The team has been announced and if its over the limit then every other promotion can now go and complain about it.
